    <p>Also saw this when looking that up...</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>In Chapter 10 of his 2012 book <em>Atheism and the Case Against Christ, </em>Matthew S. McCormick provides <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='https://books.google.com/books?id=WuOf7mUQDjoC&pg=PT146&lpg=PT146&dq=Jar'Edo+Wens&source=bl&ots=Kuqr5hIleT&sig=awxpOdllJBFLi4wjMnzfTTxycPE&hl=en&sa=X&ei=Y5QFVfulMIOhNobDgPAI&ved=0CEEQ6AEwBzgK#v=onepage&q=Jar'>a list of "gods and religions in history that have fallen out of favor."</a> Between the Chinese deities <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jade_Emperor'>Jade Emperor</a> and <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ji_Gong'>Ji Gong</a> on this list sits Jar'Edo Wens, an exotic-looking nonsense phrase some Australian guy added to Wikipedia seven years prior.</p>
    <p>The blog <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://wikipediocracy.com/2015/03/15/jared-owens-god-of-wikipedia/'>Wikipediocracy recounts the genesis </a>of a wholly fictional Aboriginal deity, created by an anonymous Australian prankster—presumably named Jared Owens, <em>get it</em>?—who published a Wikipedia article for Jar'Edo Wens and added an entry about the god to the site's page on <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://wikipediocracy.com/2015/03/15/jared-owens-god-of-wikipedia/'>Australian Aboriginal mythology </a>in 2005. Thanks to Wikipedia's immense and often indiscriminate ability to disseminate facts and factoids alike, Jar'Edo has spread its gospel of humility and learning to the furthest reaches of the internet in the years since then.</p>
    <p><span>The brief Jar'Edo article </span><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_hoaxes_on_Wikipedia/Jar'Edo_Wens'>read:</a></p>
    <blockquote>
    <p>In Australian Aboriginal mythology, Jar'Edo Wens is a god of earthly knowledge and physical might, created by Altjira to oversee that the people did not get too big-headed, associated with victory and intelligence.</p>
    </blockquote>
    <p><strong>(A person working from the same anonymous IP address also attempted to add a god called "Yohrmum" to the list, in case there's any doubt that Jar'Edo was a work of fiction.)</strong></p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><strong><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://internet.gawker.com/how-one-man-made-himself-into-an-aboriginal-god-with-wi-1692426415'>http://internet.gawker.com/how-one-man-made-himself-into-an-aboriginal-god-with-wi-1692426415</a></strong></p>

    We have a similar problem at work at the moment, some idiot that can't seem to aim keeps pissing on the floor. One of the guys put a notice up saying "stop pissing on the bloody floor". Two days later there was another note underneath it that said "you'll never catch me".<br><br>

    <p>I'm liking the trailers. I'm not getting my hopes up though as if you set them too high you're bound to be disappointed.</p>

    <p>My Pappy always told me to mistrust a band with a lead violinist, but for all that I quite liked them. Like Journey if Ross Geller wrote their songs.</p>
